First day of Shawal

We started the day with the subuh prayers. After that it was getting ourselves ready for the Eidul Eid prayer at the nearby mosque. By 7.30am we were ready and having breakfast. After a month of fasting, breakfast seems a bit strange. Anyway, with all the ketupat, rendang, lemang and whatever, the food gets gobbled up very quickly.
Then its to the nearby mosque for the Eidul Eid prayer. The mosque as usual, was full.
By 9.30 am, we were back at the house. After the customary salam and asking for forgiveness among us, its time to start visiting close relatives. Fortunately or unfortunately, some of our relatives have balik kampung so there were not too many houses to visit.
We were in Paya Jaras, Ampang and Subang Jaya. The day finally ends at about 7 pm when we were back at the house, feeling all tired and worn out. The night was spent just resting in the house, watching TV, have more food and sleep.

Eve of Hari Raya day

Abang Nyah invited us to his house in Ampang to break the fast on the last day of Ramadhan. The whole family went. Atak, my 3rd sister was also there together with Nazida, my neice from my younger sister, Da. Abang Nyah son, Sazali was also there with his wife and daughter. Later on Juli, Abang Nyah daughter came back from work to join us.
We left the house at about 9.30 pm and headed for PKNS complex, Shah Alam. My wife wanted to do some last minute shopping for rendang, ketupat and lemang.
What greeted us at the PKNS complex was a like a huge lelong party. The car parks were full and the place was just crowded with people. Apparently, they all had the same idea. To do last minute shopping. For those buying 'baju raya', it was a good move as the prices had all came down. Lelong, lelong everywhere as traders were eager to get rid of their still unsold goods.
The crowd was just too crowded for me. We quickly bought the things we wanted to buy and headed home.
